COMMENTS

a(n)=sum(k=0,n,{b(k)*b(n-k)} mod 3) where b(k)=sum(k=0,n,binomial(n,k)*binomial(n+k,k)) are the central Delannoy numbers. The formula is obtained using techniques described in the Deutsch-Sagan paper.

FORMULA

a(2n-1)=0 and a(2n)=2^t_1(n) where t_1(n) denotes the number of 1's in the ternary representation of n (A062756). Recurrence : a(3n)=a(n), a(3n+1)=a(n-1), a(3n+2)=2*a(n)

PROG

(PARI) b(n)=sum(k=0, n, binomial(n, k)*binomial(n+k, k)); a(n)=sum(k=0, n, (b(k)*b(n-k))%3)

CROSSREFS
